A little girl knows that pigs cannot look up but is empathetic to all the beauty they are missing, so she hoists her pig up to see the stars for the first time.

Description

In this spare picture book, a little girl forges a bond with a pig on her farm, taking note of the unfair truth that because their bodies evolved to forage for food on the ground, pigs can’t look up.

Inspired by empathy, the little girl determines and plots to hoist the pig up to see the stars, and in doing so, sees herself.

Originally written as a tweet by actor Vincent D’Onofrio, the limited and poetic text morphs into a beautiful story of friendship and kindness in this bold and graphic picture book.

Pigs Can't Look Up is a tale that conveys the power of imagination and empathy, perfectly captured in visually stunning illustrations that complement the heartwarming narrative.
